While ‘The Callisto Protocol’s’ PC performance has been helped with the Day 1 patch, it seems that it’s still a MAJOR problem for …

Well I'm gonna date myself for saying it but as of now this game is a somewhat more competent modern day Nightmare creatures 2 if anyone remembers that game
I absolutely loved this game, played it on PS5. No glitches. I don't play games for the story, so this kinda suited me well.
Personally, I think I only fired a weapon 10 to 15 times excluding the final boss battle. Other than that I just used stealth takedowns and my melee attack. I kind of pretended like I didn’t have a gun whatsoever. Or the ability to pick up and throw enemies.I kind of assumed that’s how you were supposed to play. Just using your baton the whole time.
So the game was on sale and I bought it, on the ps5 it’s pretty fun I did enjoy it
You don't "HAVE TO" stealth through any section in the game outside of the stealth sections with the Guard Bots. Watched CohhCarnage play through this game and he killed every single enemy in the game (hardest difficulty) because he's a loot whore xD haha. iykyk. Luke is right, there is not enough ammo to use on every enemy in the game; there is however enough ammo+spiked walls to throw the enemies into if you spec into Stasis enough to have good battery life and good power to throw further. Just wanted to clear this up in case anyone was turned off by how Luke described it here. There's a plethora of other reasons to be turned off by this game but i'm just sayin!
it has nothing to do with dead space beyond gory deaths, being in space with space zombies.
DS has a pletora of enemies that will engage you in diferent ways, and demand diferent tactics.
in callisto, they dont, even bosses are literaly fought the exact same way. the game is just too melee focus, and too arcade brawlers from the 80's to allow you to fight them in any other way than how the developers intended.
I dont understand why people preorder digital content :-).
It is not like it will run out of stock. F××××ng consumers
Finished it on ps5 and I hated it. Combat is terrible, Dodge. Surely works, story sucks, sponge enemies, performance mode looks cleaner than quality mode.
I kinda hated that game by the end. Frustrating checkpoints did not help.
This is a 5 at best. Reviewers are too soft. The game copies everything from dead space very badly
This game was a fucking blast to play. I dont see the problems. I even watched it on Hollow channel. He does great on playing games and his opinions are spot on. I think reviewers got this one dead wrong. Game is amazingggg
After finished this game I give it a 7/10. Gameplay for me was fun but it was definitely clunky. Also the last boss fight was fun but the additional enemies ruined it for me.
Thanks for your coverage bro.
I did enjoy this game, wish it was longer.
What Portable Screen or Extended Display do you use? The one under your Curve Moniter? Cheers!
When do we get the longer detailed god of war ragnarok review? Cant wait 👏
Refreshing to see people be honest about a game, back to people who are very kind to the Pokemon games because they're open World 8 out of 10 game bugs and all
GRP should have been unlimited like kinesis in Dead Space. There should have been a ton of objects of various shapes to be yeeted at the biophages. Ravenholm in Half Life was scary AND fun. Using kinesis at the start (and throughout) of Dead Space 2 (and the franchise at large) was scary AND fun. I enjoyed Callisto almost entirely down to art, graphical quality and sound design. The combat not so much. Story also needs work, BUT I’ll take it. Story dlc will come.
Yes the game is not perfect and it has its flaws but I think I’m the next game, they will approve on these and maybe give us the final experience in this universe.
I do really love this game, i had a blast but yeah I did want more of it and I think that’s my biggest problem and no New Game + but that’s coming next year and that’s it really. I was entertained and the story, yeah it’s not like groundbreaking or such but felt like a old school horror movie.
I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece of writing but a decent story and it’s not bad in my opinion, I just wanted more of it.
Overall, I do recommend it. Especially if you loved Dead Space or just Sci-Fi horror in general.
Edit: I gotta say, you’re review is probably the most fair as it it boggles me that it gets so much hate. I find it unnecessary in my opinion but yeah, keep it up man! 💪🤘
It feels like a very lazy game and pulls somes major bullshit, like spawning an enemy right next to you during a stealth section making a fight 100% unavoidable. Every time I start to get in the flow and have fun, the game does something to just rip me right out and leaves me frustrated.
Don't get me wrong, I was looking forward to this and I do like it, but it just feel like a step back
Josh Duhamel deserves to star in a better video game. This is his second video game. Both times he's given a great performance.
I’m curious on what the FPS is on this game
10 hour playthrough? It took me 7½ hours to beat (with multiple crashes and multiple restarts/deaths)
This game is more interesting to look at than actually play
Can you play this on the hardest difficulty, and tell me what you think? cause I was the same on medium, but it felt like a new game on the hardest….everything matters, weather you choose to cqc or take them ranged, I took out a guy ranged and another cqc, only for the one I killed earlier was morphing into a big variant and ripped me a new one…..
You had a very well put together opinion on the game and I love your warning flag about reviews put out last second. It's refreshing hearing someone talk about game length in terms of quality vs. quantity in horror action games. This review summarizes my experience with the game greatly. Thank you for what you do
Digitally Foundry spoke about the stuttering, it is caused by shader compilation stutter. Essentially, new assets being loaded for the first time cause massive stutters. The reason why these issues may have been reduced upon your second set of testing is because your PC has now already loaded these assets from your first play-through. From my own experience even with the patch, this is still the case.
dead space was si amazing. The story. / lore. Just perfect. This game looks like it has none. Its just plain. Great looks. Poor story and lore.
Well then Dead Space isn't Horror either….
Just finished this on PS5. I had a good time with it. it's got some issues, especially with the blocking mechanics, but all in all its nowhere near as bad as its being made out to be
I’ve said this 1000 times:
IF THEY DONT MARKET THAT THE GAME HAS GONE GOLD , ITS NOT READY
How many times have we’ve seen this in the last 10 years? Less than 20.
And how many games have come out since?
Exactly
Has anyone ran this game with an AMD card? I'd be interested tobsee if it runs better. All around my experience wasn't great, but not awful on a 2060 super. The game just felt drawn out there was no reason to be constantly falling down holes, back tracking all the time and the enemies felt kind of repetitive.
I don't want to pay 60 bucks for mortal kombat with zombies in space. Probably not gonna buy callisto
The games not good. Hate to say it the easiest difficulty felt like a painful slog dark souls is only fun because the game is designed that way. In the one you get pinned between two enemy’s your pretty much toast. Trail and error is not fun it’s frustrating. The game repeats the two heads 4 times and it’s infuriating the second time. The answer is load up on ammo no skill no nothing just buy all the ammo. Ps they use THE SAME JUMP SCARES 5 times
The slug jumping out of the box over and over again.
The divide of people who absolutely hate this game and think it’s the worst thing ever and the people who are like yeah it wasn’t anything special but it was pretty fun is crazy
This game looks good, never played dead space & I feel like people were hoping this would top that & be in game of the year talks So it’s getting unfairly reviewed but it looks like a decent. Some of the thing people complain about in gameplay you’ll find in most other “great games” soo I’m confused on to buy because I just got shafted with Gotham knights ( could t get into it )
I had fun with the combat for the most part, it’s really fucking annoying when you’re fighting a guy in melee and you get a spitball in the back though. I probably won’t play it again though and I beat it on the hardest difficulty in 6 and a half hours
iam not supprised if some company's dont give luke review code he putchers the game and dont talk like the company wants him
12:58 Me, who got stuck in the game and spent 14 hours trying to beat it…🥴
